Use the SonicWall for Nat instead of the router. The router should sit
outside your internal network. The cable from the router should go into the
WAN port on the SonicWall, and the cable from the LAN port should go into
your switch. The SonicWall should sit between the router and the internal
network (PCs). Use the SonicWall for NAT. The web server should go in the
DMZ port. Use of the "REAL" IP addresses for the web server. You should have
some client licenses for VPN with the SonicWall l. For added security, you
might need to use the SonicWall VPN with a radius server. For VPN setup, the
manual has some good scenarios

Good luck.
